Heat Transfer Paint Printing Day 3

The images for today are from the day my daughter and eldest granddaughter got to play with the machine, using other parts of the machine as well as the mug printer.   So more experimentation.

The first two were printed on MDF coasters - they were both gessoed and one of them had the pre-fix applied as well 

This bauble was printed straight on to the MDF with no gesso

 This mug was done with the stencil cut from a rainbow painted piece of paper:

 Another MDF coaster

 
 My granddaughter's attempt at a mug, I believe this was created from the paper shown.

This was printed on to a canvas bag

The complete day's selection:

and finally a selection of some of the papers created with with shaving foam and inks, prior to printing:

We have had so much fun - and load of backgrounds etc ready to play with.   My granddaughter is going to set up an Etsy shop so that she can do orders or personalised mugs etc.

Heat Transfer Printing Day 2

Another day of playing

using an Andy Skinner Stencil

an experiment to see if we could overprint a name on
and already printed mug

a die cut out and used as a stencil and stuck to background
before printing

This time a Clarity die cut out of prepainted paapter in two colours
to create a drop shadow

We also tried overprinting one of our first mugs with a darker colour

Here is a selection of our "messy play" papers, that we created with cheap shaving foam and the inks.

Heat Transfer Paint Printing Day 1

We have had so much fun recently (My daughter and I and later on my eldest granddaughter)  I showed my daughter an idea on a Nick Roberts show on Hochanda, and she fell in love with the idea just like me.     As neither of us have had a holiday this year - we decided to invest in a machine to do the printing.  (We ended up with one that not only prints mugs, but also T-shirts, plates, coasters and baseball type caps !)

These were the first two mugs we tried  Amazingly the one above came out much darker than we expected, and the one below came out much lighter.   You will note that the initials on the one below were barely visible.

This was the original colours of the first mug on the paper

It was obviously a learning curve - we then printed out a sheet of the all the colours we had and then printed that onto a mug.

 and below how the colours turned out on the mug:

This is the mug printing part of the machine:

Come back tomorrow and the day after for more of what we have played with.
